Abstract
The Charles H. Scott Gallery is proud to present Goodbye Charles, an exhibition that celebrates Charles Hepburn Scott, an artist, educator and the gallery's namesake, in commemoration of the latest chapter in their history. This exhibition offers a glimpse into Scott's creative practice through the inclusion of his paintings, drawings, sketchbooks and writings. Contemporary artists that have exhibited at the Charles H. Scott Gallery have also been invited to respond to the occasion. A diverse list of artists have contributed portraits of Scott to a bookwork, and two additional projects will be situated within the gallery by London-based artist duo Cullinan Richards and Vancouver artist Ron Tran. For the Goodbye Charles exhibition Cullinan Richards and Ron Tran respond to the Beaux Arts Balls and the spirit of the Savary Island camps. Cullinan Richards have been shown in both group and solo exhibitions at the Charles H. Scott Gallery. Their installations explore painting, drawing, sculpture, theatricality and exhibition-making. Commonplace materials are employed in the production of their work, including plastic, cardboard, house paint and tape—standard materials used by artists in the making of their work rather than as the finished product.
